Types 2

interfaceAppChooser

[gtk.app_chooser.AppChooser] is an interface for widgets which allow the user to choose an application.

The main objects that implement this interface are [gtk.app_chooser_widget.AppChooserWidget], [gtk.app_chooser_dialog.AppChooserDialog] and [gtk.app_chooser_button.AppChooserButton].

Applications are represented by GIO [gio.app_info.AppInfo] objects here. GIO has a concept of recommended and fallback applications for a given content type. Recommended applications are those that claim to handle the content type itself, while fallback also includes applications that handle a more generic content type. GIO also knows the default and last-used application for a given content type. The [gtk.app_chooser_widget.AppChooserWidget] provides detailed control over whether the shown list of applications should include default, recommended or fallback applications.

To obtain the application that has been selected in a [gtk.app_chooser.AppChooser], use [gtk.app_chooser.AppChooser.getAppInfo].

Deprecated

The application selection widgets should be

implemented according to the design of each platform and/or application requiring them.
